We go quite often, absolutely love the food their prime rib poutine is one of our favs but the ribs are amazing and the penne Pacifico is a huge hit! But the thing we always crave is the mushroom caps they are to die for. it’s got a very chill atmosphere and the staff is so nice.Kid-friendliness: One of the few places my picky eater niece enjoys

Butter chicken was bad. Seemed slimy, and the rice tasted like chicken oxo.

The waitress and bartender were both very friendly and attentive. We had the spicy chicken poutine, fish and chips, and blueberry cheesecake. The food came out fast and everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place!

The Cow Restaurant is an absolute culinary gem that deserves nothing less than a stellar 5-star rating.The highlights included friendly, informative staff that went above and beyond to give us tips about our vacation on the island and a unique menu that showed the staff had a creative and passionate mind.Genuinely some of the best food we’ve ever had! Specifically the Cookie Monster Cheesecake (made in-house).We’ll definitely be dreaming about this food when we return to Ontario!

Probably the best food I’ve had in BC and one of the best veggie burgers I’ve had in general. The Cookie Monster Cheesecake is an absolutely must try. Also very friendly and attentive staff who gave us advice on some places to visit while in BC. Would recommend this place to anyone!

!Warning! I found 2 pubic hairs in my meal. I complained. The owner came out and I was shocked with his poor personal hygiene. He looks like he’s homeless and has never washed his clothes. His eye brows are about 4” long and guarantee they fall into the food. Please be careful when eating here, it is not a safe clean kitchen environment.

Seems like the restaurant was named after the blonde server lol. Terrible attitude and when she gave me the wrong food she acted like she wouldn't take it back and asked if i just wanted to try it. I said no and shortly after she said the owner or cook would give me a discount if I took the wrong food. I said No. I want what I ordered. She seemed annoyed and said that my friend couldn't order off the kids menu as she wasn't as hungry. We thought she was joking when she said she cant have a grilled cheese but she wasn't! Mediocre food, bland and horrible attitude. From one server to another, I don't understand how management allows her to keep working there! Do better.
